Welcoming new things into my life wasn’t something that always came naturally to me, I was happy with the status quo. I think that I was afraid to even dare to dream that there could be great things out there waiting for me to discover them. What if I dared to dream and my dreams were shattered? Could I handle that? Was I strong enough to face disappointment? Could I deal with being let down? But what if I wasn’t disappointed? What if I discovered amazing new things, experiences and people? Could it be possible that the risk was worth taking, that I could find happiness that I never even knew existed?
As we approach a new year I think we all question even just a little what the new year will bring? For those that have had a particularly rough year, perhaps lost loved ones, separated from partners, struggled financially or were diagnosed with a serious illness, they may wish for 2015 to be over as quickly as possible and pray that 2016 will be a brighter, happier and healthier year. For those who have had a successful year they perhaps wish for continued success and happiness.
Whatever 2015 held for you know this, 2016 is full of new possibilities, adventures and amazing experiences. Open yourself up to new things, embrace life, appreciate the small moments, take advantage of new opportunities, and be grateful for all the wonder that surrounds us.
I have learnt to appreciate new things, to realise that with opening myself up and embracing change, my life only got better, brighter and I became a happier and more fulfilled person.
So as we head toward the new year be prepared for change and embrace life with arms wide open.
Thanks for joining me, love Mackenzie xx

Wonderful advice. I think that if we don’t put ourselves out there and experience new things, we’d be missing out on so much life has to offer. Change can be difficult at first, but often times it’s what’s best for us! May you and you family have a blessed New Year, Mac! xx
Here! Here! Mackenzie! Sound advice and one I’m definitely going to follow. Change can be difficult but also empowering. I’ve changed so much this year I’m excited as to what 2016 will bring! Happy New Year! xx
This is lovely. Thanks, Mackensie. When I’m feeling scared, I often tell myself, ‘you can’t discover new islands, unless you lose sight of the shore.’ Love this. Not sure who said it, but it’s a great motivator. Have a great Christmas and an adventurous new year. xx
I’m sorry 2015 was such a difficult year for you & your family. A fresh start is a great feeling. I hope you have health & happiness in 2016 & lots of good luck. Thanks so much for linking up every week! Have a very merry Christmas & a healthy, happy new year! x
